Where are all the atheists ejecting religious people from government meetings because they don't like shirts that say "Under God"?

What? These people don't exist.

Oh right! Such level of douchitude is generally only justified by fucking idiots who place their faith in sky fairies.

They physically removed a guy from a meeting because his shirt said, "One Nation, Indivisible", without including "under god" on it.

Fucking Christians. I heard not all Nazis were bad guys either, but when you're part of a group that regularly oppresses peoples' lives and forces them to live by your standards — you're going to be considered standing shoulder to shoulder with pedophiles and censors.

Sounds like there were a couple council members who were sane, and made a motion for their constitutional rights to exist [as if a motion can determine such a thing!]. That's good.

And this is why a lot of conservatives still think that a business should be able to refuse to serve black people: It's because they want to conserve the old property rights people had to do whatever the fuck they want with their property.

At some point, people decided that if you open your private doors to the public, that the public can now tell you what to do.

And in this case, they've said – NO, you can't open a thrift store. How dare you?

This is the major flaw of democracy. People can get together and trample on peoples' rights. This is also why I'm against zoning laws. There are already laws to prevent harm; use those to save your children instead.

Income tax isn't unconstitutional (I stand corrected by Chris Yates on this one). And Congress saying you need to get health care is not unconstitutional, as many of the people who WROTE the constitution passed this law in 1798.

So to those trying to take a strict constitutional defense against national health care — Sorry, but you're wrong. You might want to ask the people who actually wrote the constitution about it.

QUIRKS: Based on the fake trailer shown between the 2 halves of the Grindhouse double feature movie. And this movie is grindhouse in every sense of the word. Crazy gore, cheesy dialogue, ridiculous plots and situations. Everything that makes movies great escapism. This is to Mexican exploitation what Black Dynamite is to black exploitation. Lots of violence. Plenty of sex — Machete gets laid four times. (Three if you count a threesome as once.) MACHETE IS A BADASS. END OF STORY.

VISUALS: Modern production values with fake 1970’s-film-looking effects overdubbed to make it look old while actually being new. And while you get to see some Jessical Alba nudity, IT ISN’T REAL, it’s computer-generated. What a fucking prude. She’s the Milli Vanilli of the titty world.

SOUNDTRACK: Retro 1970s Mexican feel.

WILHELM SCREAM: Yup!

MORALS: There’s the law–and there’s what’s right.

POLITICS: Immigration politics looked at from interesting angles. Of course, this was written way before the unconstitutional Arizona law was passed. But that won’t stop people from thinking this is some liberal conspiracy commentary on the Arizona law. Hah!

GOOD STUFF: Great action. Ridiculous deaths. Ridiculous situations. A great feeling of closure. Epic fights and battles. Epic cars with guns on them. What’s not to like?

BAD STUFF: Some people will find this cheesy. Get over yourselves. This isn’t supposed to be a 100% serious movie. If every movie had to be serious, I’d kill myself.

CONCLUSION: Serious grindhouse action at its finest. We came in with high expectations and was still pleasantly surprised. Plus, it’s one of those movies that you THINK is over, and then it keeps going for awhile after that, and you’re all happy that it didn’t end prematurely.

Machete: Machete don’t text. — Apparently after Rodriguez thought of this movie and told Danny Trejo about it, Trejo kept calling him at random hours of the day trying to convince him to make this movie. Eventually, Rodriguez asked him to text him instead of keeping up with the voice-call harassment. Trejo simply responded: “Machete don’t text.” It’s hilarious that this was incorporated into the actual film!

Sartana: We didn’t cross the border. The border crossed us.

Padre Benito del Toro: I absolve you of all your sins. Now get the fuck out.

Ian B’s review. “This isn’t a spoof, but Rodriguez knows how to push every scene just far enough over the top to make it funny without entering completely silly territory.”

Dr. Dark gives it his “highest recommendation”.

Rachel Weird: “Machete = OMG WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

OTHERS’ REVIEWS:

Outlaw Vern’s review, funny as always. “Even though he has these directors who love him like Rodriguez and Rob Zombie he’s still just getting these supporting roles or cameos and then for his day job he still has to fight some Eyeborgs or something.” He also reviewed the script before the movie came out.
